Anthropomorphism or personification is any attribution of human characteristics (or characteristics assumed to belong only to humans) to other animals, non-living things, phenomena, material states, objects or abstract concepts, such as organizations, governments, spirits or deities

They personified planets & stars... It didn't end with the Greeks & Romans......

Why do you think there were exactly 12 disciples and why the number 12 was associated with prior 'Gods' and savior mythos? What else are there twelve of?

the sun walks on water?it dies for 3 days and then rises again? who woulda knew

i refer you to Deuteronomy 4:19The God of the bible specifically commands we do NOT worship the sun.

Is that why Jesus is referred to as the SUN of righteousness in the Bible?

Quoting: YankeeRose555

no actually hes referred to as the sOn of God (righteosness is the word you used but they are pretty much synonymous). again, youre saying Christ and the sun are the same thing because son and sun sound the same linguistically which is absolutely foolish, stupid and just idiotic. And i knew you would do so because all of your types bring up that same retarded point to grasp for scraps of evidence (no matter how illogical they are) and to attempt to justify their illogical disbelief and hate really for God, the bible and Christ. and as ive already showed you deuteronomy 4:19 disproves this entire assertion

I agree with you that using 'Linguistics' as proof is a massive fail. I think the Astrotheologists do this to prove a point.

There are massive connections between all the ancient religions and astronomy, that includes Christianity.

I notice you point to the book of Deuteronomy, that is a Jew book, not a Christian book. The Hebrew God was originally one in a polytheistic pantheon. He didn't even become 'The God of Creation' for quite some time in Hebrew lore.

The Jew's weren't a sun-cult until the Romans tried to push Mithrism/Christianity on them to quell the 1st century rebellions.

There's a good reason why many Jews still deny Jesus as their savior, they believe their Messiah will be a Warrior-God, not a Roman Pacifist.

Malachi 4:2 "The Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings for you people who fear my name."

Quoting: YankeeRose555

are you really serious? im assuming you are since the natural man; the unbeliever and scoffer such as yourself has zero understanding of the spirit and word of God and no regard for context. yes i know that dirty word "context" that the bible scoffers hate so much because its such a pesky little thing to them because its actually valid. that verse never implied the sun and Christ were one in the same. its metaphorical comparing the sun (the bright yellow light in the sky) to GOD. “But, for my followers, goodness will shine on you like the rising sun. And it will bring healing power like the sun’s rays. You will be free and happy, like calves freed from their stalls." so all the red letter words directly from Christ and all of his parables came from the nuclear fusion gas ball in the sky right? facepalm. your argument is a joke

BUT in John it has been changed. The passover hadn't started and wasn't started until after his appearance before Pilate the next day

John 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

John 19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!

Who changed what and why were the changes made? They both can't be correct.

Theyre afraid of that heritage. They dont need to be but they are. Christianity is the only religion where knowing nothing of its historical origins is considered wise.

I can't believe in something I have not personally experienced or witnessed. I hate religions because people feel they need a book to tell them what it's all about. They deny their personal experiences and allow others to dictate what they should or should not believe in.

Thomas Paine summed it up nicely, IMHO:

"Each of those churches show certain books, which they call revelation, or the word of God. The Jews say, that their word of God was given by God to Moses, face to face; the Christians say, that their word of God came by divine inspiration: and the Turks say, that their word of God (the Koran) was brought by an angel from Heaven. Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all"

"It is a contradiction in terms and ideas to call anything a revelation that comes to us at second hand, either verbally or in writing. Revelation is necessarily limited to the first communication. After this, it is only an account of something which that person says was a revelation made to him; and though he may find himself obliged to believe it, it cannot be incumbent on me to believe it in the same manner, for it was not a revelation made to me, and I have only his word for it that it was made to him"
